[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0017] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic oil pipe cleaning device includes a cleaning main unit, an upper pipe rack on the front side of the cleaning main unit, and a lower pipe rack on the rear side.

[0018] The cleaning unit includes a housing 1, with an inlet 101 on one side and an outlet on the other side. Two spiral shafts 2 are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, arranged side by side. The two spiral shafts 2 are connected to a synchronous drive mechanism. An input roller 3 corresponding to the inlet 101 is installed above one end of the spiral shaft 2, and an inner wall cleaning tube rack is fixed above the other end. An output roller 4 corresponding to the outlet is installed on one side of the inner wall cleaning tube rack.

[0019] The housing 1 is also provided with a first transfer assembly for transferring the oil pipe on the input roller 3 to the screw shaft 2, a second transfer assembly for transferring the oil pipe on the screw shaft 2 to the inner wall cleaning pipe rack, and a third transfer assembly for transferring the oil pipe on the inner wall cleaning pipe rack to the output roller 4.

[0020] An inner wall cleaning assembly that works with the inner wall cleaning pipe rack is installed on the inlet 101 side of the housing 1, and an outer wall cleaning assembly that communicates with the outlet is installed on the outlet side.

[0021] The inner wall cleaning pipe rack includes a longitudinal beam 5 and two vertical plates 6 fixed to the top of the longitudinal beam 5. The two vertical plates 6 are arranged side by side, and each vertical plate 6 has an L-shaped cutout 601 for accommodating the oil pipe. The bottom of the L-shaped cutout 601 is inclined downward toward the output roller 4.

[0022] The inner wall cleaning assembly includes a guide rail 8, a drive trolley 9, trolleys 10, and a plunger 13. The guide rail 8 is arranged longitudinally. The drive trolley 9 and four trolleys 10 are installed on the guide rail 8 from front to back, and adjacent trolleys are connected by a connecting rope 11. The last trolley 10 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 1 by the connecting rope 11. Bearings 12 are installed on the trolleys 10. The plunger 13 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 8 and passes through the inner ring of the bearings 12 on all trolleys 10. Its front end is located inside the drive trolley 9, and its rear end is connected to a wire brush 14 for scrubbing the inner wall of the oil pipe. The plunger 13 is clearance-fitted with the inner ring of the bearings 12. The drive trolley 9 is equipped with a drive mechanism for rotating the plunger 13. When the oil pipe is at the lowest point of the L-shaped cut 601 of the vertical plate 6, it is coaxial with the plunger 13.

[0023] In addition, a nozzle for flushing the inner wall of the oil pipe is installed on the inner wall of the outlet side of the housing 1. The nozzle is coaxially arranged with the insert rod 13.

[0024] Working process of the inner wall cleaning component: The drive vehicle 9 drives the insertion rod 13 to rotate and move the insertion rod 13 backward, thereby driving the wire brush 14 to scrub the inner wall of the oil pipe; at the same time, the nozzle sprays water into the oil pipe to cooperate with the wire brush 14 to scrub the inner wall of the oil pipe; when the drive vehicle 9 is reset, under the connection of the connecting rope 11, the four pulleys 10 are also reset at the same time. The function of the four pulleys 10 is to support the insertion rod 13.

[0025] This cleaning device can use heating media such as hot water or steam. The working process is explained below using hot water as an example: (1) Inject hot water into the lower part of the inner cavity of shell 1; (2) The upper tube rack delivers the oil pipe into the housing 1. The oil pipe enters through the inlet 101 and is conveyed backward through the input roller 3. When the oil pipe is completely inside the housing 1, the first transfer component moves the oil pipe from the input roller 3 to the screw shaft 2. Then the synchronous drive mechanism drives the two screw shafts 2 to rotate synchronously, so that the oil pipe moves backward by one pipe position. (3) Repeat step (2) to fill the two spiral shafts 2 with oil pipes; (4) The second transfer component moves the oil pipe from the spiral shaft 2 to the inner wall cleaning pipe rack. Then the inner wall cleaning component works, using the insertion rod 13 to drive the wire brush 14 to clean the inner wall of the oil pipe. Subsequently, the third transfer component moves the oil pipe from the inner wall cleaning pipe rack to the output roller 4. (5) The output roller 4 conveys the oil pipe backward through the outlet, and at the same time, the outer wall cleaning component brushes the outer wall of the oil pipe; (6) The oil pipe is transported to the lower pipe rack. Example 2

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, this embodiment designs the outer wall cleaning component based on Embodiment 1, specifically as follows: In this embodiment, all output rollers 4 are tilted to one side, which can drive the oil pipe to move in a spiral.

[0027] Reference Figure 4-5 As shown, the outer wall cleaning assembly includes a box 15 with an open bottom. The front side of the box 15 is provided with a front pipe 16 connected to the outlet, and the rear side is provided with a rear pipe 17. The front pipe 16 and the rear pipe 17 are coaxially arranged, and both are equipped with ring sprayers for flushing the outer wall of the oil pipe. Two steel wire rollers 18 are rotatably installed in the box 15, with the distance between the two steel wire rollers 18 being smaller than the outer diameter of the oil pipe. The axes of the two rollers are located on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the outlet.

[0028] When the output roller 4 drives the oil pipe to move in a spiral motion, the two steel wire rollers 18 inside the housing 15 rotate to brush the outer wall of the oil pipe. At the same time, the ring sprayers in the front pipe 16 and the rear pipe 17 spray water to the outside of the oil pipe to cooperate with the steel wire rollers 18 to brush the outer wall of the oil pipe. Example 3

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, this embodiment designs the first transfer component, the second transfer component, and the third transfer component based on Embodiment 1, specifically as follows: The first transfer assembly includes a first cylinder 19, a first connecting rod 20, and two first rotating shafts 21 arranged side by side. The first rotating shaft 21 passes through one side of the housing 1, with a first rocker arm 22 fixed at its outer end and a first swing arm 23 fixed at its inner end. A first support plate 24 is fixed at the other end of the first swing arm 23. The lifting side of the first support plate 24 is a bevel, and an arc-shaped opening 2401 adapted to the outer wall of the oil pipe is opened at the end of the bevel near the spiral shaft 2. The other ends of the two first rocker arms 22 are hinged to the first connecting rod 20. The main body of the first cylinder 19 is hinged to the outer wall of the housing 1, and its output end is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 20.

[0030] Initially, the cylinder rod of the first cylinder 19 is in a retracted state; during operation, the cylinder rod of the first cylinder 19 extends and drives the two first rocker arms 23 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously through the first connecting rod 20. When the first support plate 24 is in the highest position, the oil pipe slides down its inclined side into the arc-shaped opening 2401; then the cylinder rod of the first cylinder 19 retracts, driving the first rocker arms 23 and the first support plate 24 to reset, thereby placing the oil pipe on the spiral shaft 2.

[0031] The second transfer assembly includes a second cylinder 25, a second connecting rod 26, and two second rotating shafts 27 arranged side by side. The second rotating shafts 27 pass through one side of the housing 1, with a second rocker arm 28 fixed at the outer end and a second swing arm 29 fixed at the inner end. A second support plate 30 is fixed at the other end of the second swing arm 29. The lifting side of the second support plate 30 is a bevel. A guide column 7 for use with the second support plate 30 is provided at the bottom of the upright plate 6 near the second transfer assembly. The other ends of the two second rocker arms 28 are hinged to the second connecting rod 26. The main body of the second cylinder 25 is hinged to the outer wall of the housing 1, and its output end is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 26.

[0032] Initially, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 25 is in a retracted state. During operation, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 25 extends and drives the two second swing arms 29 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously via the second connecting rod 26. During this process, the second support plate 30 lifts the oil pipe upward, causing the oil pipe to move upward along the guide column 7. Finally, the oil pipe slides down the inclined side of the second support plate 30 into the L-shaped cut 601 of the vertical plate 6. Subsequently, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 25 retracts, causing the second swing arms 29 and the second support plate 30 to return to their original positions.

[0033] The third transfer assembly includes a third cylinder 31, a third connecting rod 32, and two third rotating shafts 33 arranged side by side. The third rotating shaft 33 passes through one side of the top of the housing 1, and a third rocker arm 34 is fixed to its outer end. A third support plate 35 is fixed to the inner outer wall. The lifting side of the third support plate 35 is a bevel, and a stop block 36 is provided at the end of the bevel near the output roller 4. The other ends of the two third rocker arms 34 are hinged to the third connecting rod 32. The main body of the third cylinder 31 is hinged to the outer wall of the housing 1, and its output end is hinged to the middle of one of the third rocker arms 34.

[0034] Initially, the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 31 is in the extended state, and the third support plate 35 is in a horizontal state. During operation, the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 31 retracts, driving the two third rotating shafts 33 to rotate clockwise synchronously through the third connecting rod 32. During this process, the third support plate 35 lifts the oil pipe upward, eventually causing the oil pipe to slide down along the inclined side of the third support plate 35 into the output roller 4. Subsequently, the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 31 extends, driving the third support plate 35 to reset.

[0035] In summary, this device has a simple and novel structure, eliminating the turntable and reducing wear on the oil pipes. The device places the oil pipes on two spiral shafts 2 and transports them backward through these shafts, extending the soaking time and improving cleaning efficiency. The internal wall cleaning component works in conjunction with the internal wall cleaning pipe rack and nozzle to effectively enhance the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the oil pipes.

[0036] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and the changed content still falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
